The United States government, under the Trump administration, has responded to recent anti-gentrification protests in Mexico City by encouraging Mexican migrants living illegally in the U.S. to self-deport. The Department of Homeland Security is promoting the use of the CBP Home app, which allows migrants to report their departure. The U.S. is offering incentives including $1,000 and a free flight for those who choose to self-deport. Since the launch of this initiative, over 7,000 migrants have signed up, with more than 3,000 having already left the country. The message from the U.S. has drawn attention amid tensions surrounding gentrification protests in Mexico’s Roma-Condesa neighborhood, where some Mexicans are protesting against American cultural influence and rising housing costs. The Trump administration’s approach has been characterized by some as mocking the Mexican protests and framing the issue as a reversal of migration pressures.
